This is going to far, I have spoken with Stephc.

He is aware of all the bugs we mentioned in the game, they released it because they thought it was "good enough." In Stephc's own words: "We have helped him with this game and published it even if it does not exactly match our quality criteria." The "him" mentioned in that line would be the person who did most of the developement, who apparently recently left the PPC scene.

Also from steph:
"We were not expecting that a review could ruin our credibility as a game development company."

So basically he told me, that he released a game that he knew had many bugs, and now that it recieved a bad review, he is worried about it hurting his companies reputation. I am under the impression that no work has been or will be done to correct the issues with this game. To those who bought it, I feel bad for them, and the lack of support they will likely recieve. This could have been a great game, and its a shame the developers won't just fix it's issues.

As far as the review being bias? I had no previous relationship with int13 before this review. Every last bug that we mentioned in the review can be reproduced by me, and I will do so on camera if any of you doubt my honesty.

I do not know how anyone with their eyes open could not have noticed these bugs, they are glaringly obvious.

Well, I thought the review was a bit harsh, but if these bugs are for real and acknowledged by StephC, the only proper thing to do is to fix them, especially as they are a new company - the "it's not me, and my coder left the scene" excuse is just not acceptable
